Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus

In reply to the Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) ().25 September 2024).

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries): I am advised that as part of PIRSA's response to the detection of tomato brown rugose fruit virus, tracing has been undertaken from known infected sites, initially looking at the movement of seed and seedlings to determine other areas at risk. As part of that work, more than 20 linked properties have been identified interstate. Properties that were identified by PIRSA have been tested by interstate departments, I am further informed that only negative test results have been returned.
